*Now* whatdoya think of digital !
I have to admit.. that Canon you got is supburb! Going to motor along with the "old" D1 for a year or so longer, then maybe when Nikon (investment in lenses ya'know) comes out with the killer competition to the Canon... take the plunge.... again... <gulp>
Nice to not have to support Fuji anymore and get great results ey!

Reviving An Old Thread
Hummn... while digging around (like I don't have anything better to do.. don't tell my boss I'm goofing off at work!) I found this thread from.. was it last year... (how time flies!)..
It sparked a thought.. how many of you think we'll see the magic barrier broken this year and by whom???
For sure, breaking that barrier does not pay a dime more, and it probably costs plenty!
Is it worth it to be "the one" who did it... will anyone try it??
Wow.. looking at the time clock on the racing page.. can it really be ony that few days till "Reno"!!!!!!?!??
Wayne
PS to Mark J.... if you read this.. the photos you linked to are no longer available and show as red xxx's.. if yer "boss" will let ya... feel free to upload to the database for this board..Wayne Sagar

Sounds like poll time.
Wayne,
Sounds like a poll would be good on this subject....What ya' think. My bet is it could be done (500MPH lap) by both Dago and Bear... but I am glad I am able to go and find out in person this year.Randy Rheinschild

Re: 804.682 km/h lap?
Well, I guess we will never see a 900 km/h piston-powered lap, not to mention a 500 kt lap, so let's celebrate the next barrier, whichever unit it's measured in! A missed opportunity last year, though, but of course us metric people have more opportunities to celebrate, since the kilometre is so short and the milestones (!) are closer to each other...

metric.....
.....do we formulate like the " MacKenze Brothers"
(from the '70's)(comedy pair)
.......(loose,misinterpeted....fast temprature conversion)
......double it and add 5
....their solution.......metric "six pack"
6+6=12,+5+17....17 beers in a metric six pack.....
.....I'd say there is somthing to be said for the metric system!Mayday51

Hey, I'm a birthday boy... so I can take a few liberties ey!

I do not know how people can live here! It has been well over 100 degrees every day for quite a while, forcast to remain so for several more and it barely cools to the high 80's by morning... very hot area!
Off to melt in the streets again... or, stay cool inside..
